Good morning.

Yep, it sure can.

There are kits available for this conversion. They will include the head pipes, converters, low flow and the tail pipes. The pipe routing will be a little different from conventional cars. The left pipe cannot go straight back to the rear. It must go over to the passenger side before going back due to the cross member.

If you go to a fabricator, they can make a cross member for you so the pipe can run straight back but it will be pricey. It is the right way of doing it. It makes for a really nice job.
